Re: Having an Oxycontin problem - there wasn't one

Why does this post keep coming up when it is almost two years old and there was not a problem with addiction, but this person's pain was returning and she was confused if she was having pain from surgery or from getting off the oxycontin.

I hope I worded this correctly Chrissie, and not stepping on your toes, but this post keeps bugging me to no end and there needs to be a stop to it. I hope that you agree with me as it's none of my business but I just don't understand why it keeps popping up time and time again. Why would someone, once again, go through the archives from 2000 and dig this up?

Since this is not my post, but a beloved friend of mine, I have no right to ask that this be taken off the board, but, with permission, perhaps this is the best thing to do with this e-mail as it keeps getting pulled up time and time again and being misconstrued as there being a drug addiction problem at that time. Perhaps we should ask the moderator to just take it off the board. Chrissy, let me know your thoughts on this?
